Found a password locked iPhone, how do I contact owner?

Found an original 8Gb iPhone in a mall parking lot last night. Tried to turn it on to figure out how to return it to owner and it's password protected.Is there anyway short of trying all 9999 codes to unlock it so I can try and get it back to it's owner?

Thanks for you suggestions. Planning on getting to an Aplle store today/tomorrow. *Does anyone know how to get the phone number of the iPhone off it while it's still locked?* Perhaps I can do a reverse lookup???
